Solomon Desires the Young Woman More Than the Rest of His Wives

[Groom]

4 You are beautiful, my true love, like Tirzah,lovely like Jerusalem,awe-inspiring like those great cities.[a]5 Turn your eyes away from me. They enchant me!Your hair is like a flock of goats moving down from Gilead.6 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep,sheep that come up from the washing.All of them bear twins, and not one has lost its young.7 Your temples behind your veil are like slices of pomegranate.

8 There are 60 queens, 80 concubines,[b] and countless virgins,9 but she is unique, my dove, my perfect one.Her mother thinks she is unique.She is pure to the one who gave birth to her.Her sisters saw her and blessed her.Queens and concubines saw her and praised her.
